1
00:00:02,321 --> 00:00:05,021
Previously on "The Breaks"...
2
00:00:05,021 --> 00:00:06,488
You snuck in here?
3
00:00:06,488 --> 00:00:08,554
You remember me, don't you?
We met last summer.
4
00:00:08,554 --> 00:00:10,021
You said you'd hold
a position for me.
5
00:00:10,021 --> 00:00:11,021
I moved here for that job.
6
00:00:11,021 --> 00:00:12,154
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
7
00:00:12,154 --> 00:00:13,354
Oh!
8
00:00:13,354 --> 00:00:14,654
Get this crazy bitch
out of here!
9
00:00:14,654 --> 00:00:16,021
Unreasonable bitch.
10
00:00:16,021 --> 00:00:17,754
Which is exactly why you said
you were gonna hire me.
11
00:00:17,754 --> 00:00:20,021
You said the world is not
changed by reasonable men.
12
00:00:20,021 --> 00:00:22,654
This business rewards hustle,
and you a hustler.
13
00:00:22,654 --> 00:00:24,954
I'm a DJ and a producer.
14
00:00:24,954 --> 00:00:26,454
You know it's gonna
be dope, a'ight?
15
00:00:26,454 --> 00:00:27,521
Word.
16
00:00:27,521 --> 00:00:29,021
Oh, shit!
17
00:00:29,021 --> 00:00:31,054
Think I wanna hear that noise
when I get in from work?
18
00:00:31,054 --> 00:00:32,221
But this is real, Dad.
19
00:00:32,221 --> 00:00:33,554
It's average.
20
00:00:33,554 --> 00:00:35,221
And average ain't gonna
get you on, DeeVee.
21
00:00:35,221 --> 00:00:36,754
You need a real emcee.
22
00:00:42,388 --> 00:00:44,821
I wanna make
a record with you.
23
00:00:44,821 --> 00:00:48,154
That's what happen
when you hang with thugs.
24
00:00:48,154 --> 00:00:49,421
We gonna do this.
25
00:00:55,888 --> 00:00:57,288
Yo, that's ill!
26
00:00:57,288 --> 00:01:00,954
From now on, WPPS will play
no rap, period.
27
00:01:00,954 --> 00:01:03,488
It is the most important
musical movement--
Enough.
28
00:01:03,488 --> 00:01:05,354
Stick to getting
my coffee.
29
00:01:05,354 --> 00:01:09,254
I got fired.
Felt good too.
30
00:01:09,254 --> 00:01:10,421
What are you doing here, Juggy?
31
00:01:10,421 --> 00:01:12,254
You're a real asshole,
you know that?
32
00:01:12,254 --> 00:01:13,888
Not the first time
I heard that, son.
33
00:01:13,888 --> 00:01:16,588
When I was little, he was taking
the money from his artists.
34
00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:19,354
If you wanna be in a position
to make the music,
35
00:01:19,354 --> 00:01:21,254
you need to figure out how
to affect the bottom line.
36
00:01:21,254 --> 00:01:22,554
It's the only thing
people care about.
37
00:01:22,554 --> 00:01:23,854
Gordy manufactures receipts
38
00:01:23,854 --> 00:01:25,421
when he's on tour,
and he pockets the cash.
39
00:01:25,421 --> 00:01:27,188
And you gonna trust this ho
over your boy?
40
00:01:29,888 --> 00:01:31,354
This is not my girlfriend!
41
00:01:31,354 --> 00:01:34,688
This is, though,
my new personal assistant.
42
00:01:34,688 --> 00:01:37,154
...to the window--
43
00:01:37,154 --> 00:01:39,088
He was here all day?
44
00:01:39,088 --> 00:01:40,688
Yeah, no doubt.
He was here all day.
45
00:01:42,221 --> 00:01:45,154
I am Barry Fouray's
new personal assistant.
46
00:01:45,154 --> 00:01:46,554
Word?
And I'm about to go
47
00:01:46,554 --> 00:01:47,821
let him listen
to your tape.
48
00:01:47,821 --> 00:01:49,688
Let's go!
49
00:01:53,221 --> 00:01:55,188
Call your man up, tell him
I said come down here.
50
00:01:55,188 --> 00:01:56,254
That shit hot.
51
00:01:57,821 --> 00:01:59,721
Geronimo had something to do
with Smoke getting killed.
52
00:01:59,721 --> 00:02:01,421
I'm glad he's dead,
53
00:02:01,421 --> 00:02:03,088
but I ain't had
nothing to do with it.
54
00:02:03,088 --> 00:02:06,088
Why should we believe that?
55
00:02:06,088 --> 00:02:07,788
DeeVee.
56
00:02:35,954 --> 00:02:37,721
How long we gonna wait, man?
57
00:02:37,721 --> 00:02:39,721
As long as it takes.
58
00:02:39,721 --> 00:02:41,288
That's too long.
59
00:02:54,488 --> 00:02:58,588
Yeah.
Finish, wait for it.
60
00:03:06,088 --> 00:03:09,088
Shit.
Who's the prophet?
61
00:03:43,554 --> 00:03:45,954
Ay yo, Bruce.
62
00:03:47,154 --> 00:03:48,321
Motherfucker.
63
00:04:09,721 --> 00:04:11,521
So you cool with finishing
up packing without me?
64
00:04:11,521 --> 00:04:12,788
Yeah, it's fine.
65
00:04:12,788 --> 00:04:14,321
It's the first day.
You got the listening party.
66
00:04:14,321 --> 00:04:16,954
It's all good.
67
00:04:16,954 --> 00:04:18,188
What's wrong with you?
68
00:04:18,188 --> 00:04:19,988
Did you hear it?
Hear what?
69
00:04:19,988 --> 00:04:22,088
The track?
Ahm, man.
70
00:04:22,088 --> 00:04:23,654
Are you high?
71
00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:25,154
He wasn't high
a minute ago.
72
00:04:25,154 --> 00:04:26,721
Look, I shit you not,
all right?
73
00:04:26,721 --> 00:04:29,088
A car just rolled by
playing the record.
74
00:04:29,088 --> 00:04:30,588
The man's a dreamer.
75
00:04:30,588 --> 00:04:31,788
Always has been.
76
00:04:31,788 --> 00:04:33,221
Yo, Mattie Taylor
just got promoted.
77
00:04:33,221 --> 00:04:36,788
Really? Good for her.
78
00:04:41,421 --> 00:04:43,621
Come on, man, stop
sweatin' me, son.
79
00:04:43,621 --> 00:04:45,521
Sweating you?
You owe me money, man!
80
00:04:45,521 --> 00:04:47,088
Yeah, you always
talk about money.
81
00:04:47,088 --> 00:04:48,454
You ain't the bill
collector, relax!
82
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:50,888
Say that to
my face, then!
83
00:04:50,888 --> 00:04:52,088
I hear you.
84
00:04:52,088 --> 00:04:53,421
Come down here
and say it to my face.
85
00:04:53,421 --> 00:04:55,188
That's five shows a week
for 32 weeks, Barry!
86
00:04:55,188 --> 00:04:56,354
I already told you, man,
87
00:04:56,354 --> 00:04:58,121
the record label
froze the money!
88
00:04:58,121 --> 00:05:00,554
$20,890, Barry!
You owe me money!
89
00:05:00,554 --> 00:05:01,821
All right, look, Lil Ray,
don't sweat me
90
00:05:01,821 --> 00:05:02,921
over that, I got you.
91
00:05:02,921 --> 00:05:04,288
Just, look, come up here!
92
00:05:04,288 --> 00:05:05,654
We can smoke a Cohiba!
93
00:05:05,654 --> 00:05:07,421
I got some more
honey dips coming through!
94
00:05:07,421 --> 00:05:09,121
I'm not one of your dumb-ass
rappers, Barry.
95
00:05:09,121 --> 00:05:10,388
You know, you fuckin'
with the wrong one!
96
00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:12,154
Hey, Lil Ray!
97
00:05:12,154 --> 00:05:14,588
Lil Ray!
Hello.
98
00:05:14,588 --> 00:05:17,321
Good morning, Nikki Jones!
What you doing?
99
00:05:17,321 --> 00:05:19,121
You walkin' up
the sidewalk?
100
00:05:19,121 --> 00:05:20,754
When you early,
you on time!
101
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:22,521
When you on time,
you are late!
102
00:05:22,521 --> 00:05:24,321
When you late,
you fired!
103
00:05:26,921 --> 00:05:28,988
I told her to come
to the hair salon with me
104
00:05:28,988 --> 00:05:32,721
and get her highlights done,
too, but she don't listen.
105
00:05:32,721 --> 00:05:34,754
Yeah.
106
00:05:34,754 --> 00:05:36,954
No, yeah, she went
to her friend's salon.
107
00:05:36,954 --> 00:05:38,721
Now she look
like a rainbow.
108
00:05:38,721 --> 00:05:41,721
Where's
Barry's apartment?
109
00:05:41,721 --> 00:05:46,954
Girl, let me call you back.
110
00:05:46,954 --> 00:05:49,621
Fouray Management, Tamika.
111
00:05:49,621 --> 00:05:51,554
No, he got fired.
112
00:05:55,088 --> 00:05:58,121
It's open!
113
00:05:58,121 --> 00:05:59,421
Yeah.
114
00:05:59,421 --> 00:06:01,721
Hey! Write this down.
115
00:06:01,721 --> 00:06:04,521
$2,350.
116
00:06:04,521 --> 00:06:08,221
7:00-- yeah, tonight,
that's for tonight.
117
00:06:08,221 --> 00:06:10,088
1,700 for styling.
118
00:06:10,088 --> 00:06:12,921
1,325 that I did
for promotion.
119
00:06:12,921 --> 00:06:16,821
1,500 that I did
for the-- for the photo shoot.
120
00:06:16,821 --> 00:06:19,321
And it adds up, that's--
121
00:06:19,321 --> 00:06:20,654
6,000...
6,000...
122
00:06:20,654 --> 00:06:21,654
$875.
123
00:06:21,654 --> 00:06:24,621
$6,875, that's
out of my pocket.
124
00:06:24,621 --> 00:06:26,621
Yeah, and I submitted
the invoices.
125
00:06:26,621 --> 00:06:28,454
I been submitting
the invoices.
126
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:30,221
Look, look-look-look.
127
00:06:30,221 --> 00:06:31,721
You-- no-no-no-no-no.
128
00:06:31,721 --> 00:06:34,621
You guaranteed $10,000
in-- in pre-release--
129
00:06:34,621 --> 00:06:37,454
in pre-release money
and I ain't seen shit.
130
00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:44,254
Look, dude,
the second album
131
00:06:44,254 --> 00:06:46,621
need to be bigger
than the first album.
132
00:06:46,621 --> 00:06:49,254
Otherwise, he gonna
look like a fluke.
133
00:06:49,254 --> 00:06:51,121
So you'll pay for it!
134
00:06:51,121 --> 00:06:52,554
You the label!
135
00:06:52,554 --> 00:06:55,954
You call Burt.
I'm not calling Burt.
136
00:06:55,954 --> 00:06:57,688
No, I'm not.
137
00:06:57,688 --> 00:06:59,121
And listen,
when you call him,
138
00:06:59,121 --> 00:07:01,354
tell him if Special Ed,
if his--
139
00:07:01,354 --> 00:07:03,621
if his listening party
is wack, it's his fault.
140
00:07:03,621 --> 00:07:05,421
Sweetheart, you know
I need that coffee.
141
00:07:05,421 --> 00:07:06,954
Black, too.
142
00:07:06,954 --> 00:07:09,088
You want some eggs?
You hungry?
Uh...
143
00:07:09,088 --> 00:07:11,154
Uh, nah, I don't really want
a naked woman making me eggs.
144
00:07:11,154 --> 00:07:15,288
Eggs is eggs.
Uh, okay.
145
00:07:15,288 --> 00:07:16,754
No.
146
00:07:16,754 --> 00:07:18,888
Come on, man,
come on, really?
147
00:07:18,888 --> 00:07:21,088
Oh, my God, no, thanks.
148
00:07:21,088 --> 00:07:22,621
Um...
149
00:07:22,621 --> 00:07:25,388
Listen, man, no,
I'm not down with the video.
150
00:07:25,388 --> 00:07:27,254
Not the director,
the song.
151
00:07:27,254 --> 00:07:30,554
Track number one,
that's the one.
152
00:07:30,554 --> 00:07:35,088
Ahh, you buggin'.
Call me back.
153
00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:37,421
Ah, all right,
Nikki Jones.
154
00:07:37,421 --> 00:07:39,554
Welcome to
the music industry.
155
00:07:39,554 --> 00:07:40,988
You better keep up.
156
00:07:43,854 --> 00:07:45,821
You need to be in the space
on time for the sound check.
157
00:07:45,821 --> 00:07:47,954
Makin' sure everything
goin' smooth.
158
00:07:47,954 --> 00:07:50,254
Call Russell, Tommy,
Fab Five, Rudy and Max
159
00:07:50,254 --> 00:07:52,421
and when you talk to them--
Uh--
160
00:07:52,421 --> 00:07:53,888
Are you paying attention?
Yes.
161
00:07:53,888 --> 00:07:55,421
You sure?
Uh-huh.
162
00:07:55,421 --> 00:07:58,088
Okay, because we can't
have any bullshit today.
163
00:07:58,088 --> 00:08:00,854
This is
a very important day.
164
00:08:00,854 --> 00:08:04,154
Mm-hmm.
Uh, the label called.
165
00:08:04,154 --> 00:08:06,188
They won't budge
on the 5K.
166
00:08:06,188 --> 00:08:09,321
Your 50-person VIP
list is now 25.
167
00:08:09,321 --> 00:08:12,554
Mother, whoo.
Always somethin'.
168
00:08:12,554 --> 00:08:14,088
Cut Funk and Klein.
169
00:08:14,088 --> 00:08:15,654
Cut Dante Ross.
170
00:08:15,654 --> 00:08:18,288
Wait, wait,
I wouldn't cut Dante.
171
00:08:18,288 --> 00:08:19,754
He's in A&R at Elektra.
172
00:08:19,754 --> 00:08:22,121
Don't you have, like,
two clients over there?
173
00:08:22,121 --> 00:08:23,454
I'm just sayin'.
174
00:08:23,454 --> 00:08:24,988
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah,
you're right,
175
00:08:24,988 --> 00:08:26,788
you're right, you're right,
no, don't cut Dante.
176
00:08:26,788 --> 00:08:29,354
Yeah, we don't need to make it
any harder on our artists.
177
00:08:29,354 --> 00:08:31,088
Speaking of which,
178
00:08:31,088 --> 00:08:34,688
how many people did you tell
I was repping that Ahm cat?
179
00:08:34,688 --> 00:08:36,088
Don't look surprised.
180
00:08:36,088 --> 00:08:38,254
I got the all-seeing
eyes over here, Nikki.
181
00:08:38,254 --> 00:08:41,754
No, look, the song he made
with DeeVee is hot.
182
00:08:41,754 --> 00:08:43,754
And he's not signed
with anyone.
183
00:08:43,754 --> 00:08:45,621
Well, you better bring him here
and have him signed by me
184
00:08:45,621 --> 00:08:48,588
by the end of the day
if you wanna keep your job.
185
00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:52,288
And cut this list
down to 35.
186
00:08:52,288 --> 00:08:54,954
Tamika, hold my calls.
187
00:08:54,954 --> 00:08:56,888
Yeah, all right.
188
00:09:01,088 --> 00:09:02,488
Unh-unh, what you doing?
189
00:09:02,488 --> 00:09:04,621
I have to send a page
for Barry.
190
00:09:07,721 --> 00:09:10,588
Okay, now can you
get out of my space?
191
00:09:10,588 --> 00:09:12,088
Where's my space?
192
00:09:12,088 --> 00:09:13,521
Shouldn't I have, like,
an office or something?
193
00:09:13,521 --> 00:09:15,254
I am Barry's assistant.
194
00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:18,588
Over there.
195
00:09:24,121 --> 00:09:26,088
What the fuck!
196
00:09:26,088 --> 00:09:27,388
Oh, I'm so sorry.
197
00:09:27,388 --> 00:09:28,788
What, you don't knock?
198
00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:30,788
I just-- I-- I was
told this was my--
199
00:09:30,788 --> 00:09:31,954
Your what?
Who are you?
200
00:09:31,954 --> 00:09:33,954
Nikki Jones,
Barry's new assistant.
201
00:09:33,954 --> 00:09:35,788
Great, well, tell Barry we have
to reshoot Dizzy Mystique's
202
00:09:35,788 --> 00:09:38,454
new promo photos,
thanks to you.
203
00:10:10,321 --> 00:10:12,988
Yo.
204
00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:14,921
Headmaster Prep.
205
00:10:18,421 --> 00:10:22,421
Yo, you won't believe what
happened the other night.
206
00:10:22,421 --> 00:10:24,288
I, yo...
207
00:10:24,288 --> 00:10:27,421
Chuck Chillout plays
our record first, okay?
208
00:10:27,421 --> 00:10:29,021
And people dig it.
209
00:10:29,021 --> 00:10:31,721
Like, really, really,
really dig it.
210
00:10:31,721 --> 00:10:33,288
Barry Fouray's, like,
211
00:10:33,288 --> 00:10:34,454
"Yo, get your mans
down here right now.
212
00:10:34,454 --> 00:10:36,288
This shit is hot."
213
00:10:36,288 --> 00:10:40,288
Yo, yo, Barry Fouray
wants to meet you.
214
00:10:40,288 --> 00:10:43,454
What, that's not dope?
215
00:10:43,454 --> 00:10:46,388
Nah.
Give me the tape.
216
00:10:46,388 --> 00:10:47,721
I-- I don't
have it on me.
217
00:10:47,721 --> 00:10:49,388
Did I say you could play it?
218
00:10:49,388 --> 00:10:51,588
No, but--
219
00:10:51,588 --> 00:10:53,621
You fucked up.
220
00:10:53,621 --> 00:10:55,388
Go get the tape.
221
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:59,354
But, yo, you're dope.
222
00:10:59,354 --> 00:11:02,154
You get that-- like, you're
really, really dope.
223
00:11:02,154 --> 00:11:03,488
You could be the next--
224
00:11:03,488 --> 00:11:04,988
I ain't interested in being
the next anything.
225
00:11:04,988 --> 00:11:06,321
Tape.
226
00:11:06,321 --> 00:11:10,288
Today.
227
00:11:10,288 --> 00:11:12,221
Okay.
228
00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:31,588
Lenny Fichtelberg from Cold
Chillin' Records, line one.
229
00:11:31,588 --> 00:11:33,521
Last week,
Barry expects for me to pay
230
00:11:33,521 --> 00:11:34,921
for one of his
would-be artists,
231
00:11:34,921 --> 00:11:36,288
now big man Fouray
232
00:11:36,288 --> 00:11:37,754
can't be bothered
to invite me
233
00:11:37,754 --> 00:11:39,854
to Special Ed's
goddamn party, huh?
234
00:11:39,854 --> 00:11:41,321
Oh, no, not at all.
235
00:11:41,321 --> 00:11:43,754
Please let me assure you,
Mr. Fichtelberg.
236
00:11:43,754 --> 00:11:45,721
In no way is this
decision a reflection
237
00:11:45,721 --> 00:11:47,788
on the depth
of Barry's respect.
238
00:11:51,888 --> 00:11:54,654
You gotta cut Damita Alonzo.
239
00:11:54,654 --> 00:11:56,154
Uh, okay, but she works
over at the "Village Voice"
240
00:11:56,154 --> 00:11:57,721
which would be good
for, uh--
241
00:11:57,721 --> 00:12:00,321
Yeah, me and the "Voice"
are massive kemosabes.
242
00:12:00,321 --> 00:12:01,788
But this Damita chick,
who's that?
243
00:12:01,788 --> 00:12:04,954
Third string?
Delete, delete!
244
00:12:06,721 --> 00:12:08,654
Call for you.
245
00:12:08,654 --> 00:12:10,521
Barry Fouray's office.
246
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:12,088
Hey, what's up?
247
00:12:12,088 --> 00:12:15,354
DeeVee, yo, look, I need
you to take me to see Ahm.
248
00:12:15,354 --> 00:12:16,888
Barry wants to sign him.
249
00:12:16,888 --> 00:12:18,221
He does?
Yup.
250
00:12:18,221 --> 00:12:19,954
Let me just tell Barry
I'm going to meet him
251
00:12:19,954 --> 00:12:21,121
and then I'm there.
252
00:12:21,121 --> 00:12:22,788
All right.
253
00:12:32,588 --> 00:12:36,688
Hi, can I speak to
Damita Alonzo, please?
254
00:12:36,688 --> 00:12:38,554
Uh, hi, Damita,
it's Nikki, long time.
255
00:12:38,554 --> 00:12:40,688
Look, I'm working over
at Fouray Management,
256
00:12:40,688 --> 00:12:42,688
and they're
cancelling your access
257
00:12:42,688 --> 00:12:44,588
to Special Ed's
listening party tonight.
258
00:12:44,588 --> 00:12:47,588
I'm gonna leave a pass for you
at the door under my name.
259
00:12:47,588 --> 00:12:49,421
Hopefully, you can make it?
260
00:12:49,421 --> 00:12:51,554
Uh, okay, bye.
261
00:13:10,921 --> 00:13:14,188
Geronimo ain't
coming back, Bruce.
262
00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:16,754
Neither is Smoke.
263
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:19,388
So, here's the deal.
This shit ends today.
264
00:13:19,388 --> 00:13:20,654
Truce.
265
00:13:20,654 --> 00:13:22,288
We should body
this nigga right now.
266
00:13:22,288 --> 00:13:24,621
Truce.
267
00:13:24,621 --> 00:13:26,754
Or your mama gonna have to
keep her black dress on.
268
00:13:26,754 --> 00:13:28,854
Understand?
269
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,088
So, what's up with
Kool Chip?
270
00:13:44,088 --> 00:13:46,621
We're doing this new joint
with Salaam and Palm Tree.
271
00:13:46,621 --> 00:13:48,154
Hey, Chuck,
what's happening?
272
00:13:48,154 --> 00:13:50,521
Hey, Bernard, this the kid
I was telling you about.
273
00:13:50,521 --> 00:13:51,621
He's gonna start
helping me out.
274
00:13:51,621 --> 00:13:54,588
Played that PE at WPPS.
275
00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:57,554
Oh, yeah, a rebel.
276
00:13:57,554 --> 00:13:59,421
You must've been a real
hit with Sampson.
277
00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:05,188
You try that shit over here,
I woulda broke your hands.
278
00:14:15,154 --> 00:14:18,288
I'm telling you, man,
that dude got laid out.
279
00:14:18,288 --> 00:14:20,988
That motherfucker lucky
he's still upright.
280
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:23,721
See, I know Smoke owes on
that restraining shit,
281
00:14:23,721 --> 00:14:26,254
but them niggas violate
again, we gonna have to
282
00:14:26,254 --> 00:14:27,354
let 'em know what's good.
283
00:14:27,354 --> 00:14:29,788
I know.
284
00:14:29,788 --> 00:14:32,354
Well, well, well,
if it ain't Prep School.
285
00:14:32,354 --> 00:14:35,388
And he comes bearing gifts.
286
00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:38,488
How you doing, Ma?
I'm Scooby.
287
00:14:38,488 --> 00:14:40,421
What brings you to
the Fort Greene projects
288
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:42,421
on this fine,
fine summer day?
289
00:14:42,421 --> 00:14:43,688
Will you just
leave her alone--
290
00:14:43,688 --> 00:14:45,354
I wasn't talking to you.
291
00:14:45,354 --> 00:14:46,888
I was trying to
be fuckin' courteous.
292
00:14:46,888 --> 00:14:48,754
You need to mind your manners
before I fuck you up--
293
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:49,888
Uh, please
forgive DeeVee.
294
00:14:49,888 --> 00:14:51,688
He's just
a little protective.
295
00:14:51,688 --> 00:14:53,388
Hmm.
It's nice to meet you, Scooby.
296
00:14:53,388 --> 00:14:56,488
You see, fucking manners.
297
00:14:56,488 --> 00:14:58,121
How you doing, Miss, um--
298
00:14:58,121 --> 00:14:59,654
Nikki Jones.
Hmm.
299
00:14:59,654 --> 00:15:00,988
I just wanted to see
if I could talk to Ahm
300
00:15:00,988 --> 00:15:03,154
for a second
if that's cool.
301
00:15:03,154 --> 00:15:06,088
By all means, Nikki Jones.
302
00:15:09,388 --> 00:15:12,854
A'ight.
303
00:15:12,854 --> 00:15:15,988
Hey, Ahm, uh, this is
my friend, Nikki,
304
00:15:15,988 --> 00:15:17,454
and, uh, she works
for Barry Fouray.
305
00:15:17,454 --> 00:15:19,754
You got the tape?
Uh--
306
00:15:19,754 --> 00:15:21,721
Ahm, it is a pleasure
to meet you.
307
00:15:21,721 --> 00:15:23,588
And like DeeVee was saying,
I do work with Barry Fouray.
308
00:15:23,588 --> 00:15:25,488
And we would love to work with
you on your music together.
309
00:15:25,488 --> 00:15:27,088
You got the tape?
310
00:15:27,088 --> 00:15:28,721
I have something much more
important than the tape.
311
00:15:28,721 --> 00:15:30,254
I have an opportunity
of a lifetime.
312
00:15:30,254 --> 00:15:31,488
I don't give a fuck.
313
00:15:31,488 --> 00:15:35,754
Okay.
314
00:15:35,754 --> 00:15:37,354
Listen, I got the tape.
315
00:15:37,354 --> 00:15:38,754
Somebody's
holding it for me
316
00:15:38,754 --> 00:15:40,254
and I can't get it back
from them until tonight.
317
00:15:40,254 --> 00:15:42,088
Fastest way to get
it back into your hands
318
00:15:42,088 --> 00:15:44,388
is if you meet me
in Manhattan.
319
00:15:44,388 --> 00:15:46,388
Come to Rita's,
8:00 p.m.
320
00:15:46,388 --> 00:15:48,254
I'll have it,
I promise.
321
00:15:48,254 --> 00:15:52,188
You should at least hear
what Barry has to say, okay?
322
00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:54,488
Give him five minutes.
323
00:15:58,854 --> 00:16:00,388
He's not very fuckin'
reasonable, is he?
324
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:01,854
Told you.
325
00:16:01,854 --> 00:16:03,354
Why can't you just give
him a copy of the tape?
326
00:16:03,354 --> 00:16:05,221
'Cause he has the original.
327
00:16:05,221 --> 00:16:06,754
He wants that copy.
328
00:16:06,754 --> 00:16:08,088
We gotta get
that shit back.
329
00:16:08,088 --> 00:16:09,454
Why'd you tell him
you couldn't get it to him
330
00:16:09,454 --> 00:16:10,921
till later on tonight?
331
00:16:10,921 --> 00:16:12,454
We can go to the station
and get it from Chuck
332
00:16:12,454 --> 00:16:13,754
and then bring it
right back.
333
00:16:13,754 --> 00:16:15,121
Barry wants to meet him.
334
00:16:15,121 --> 00:16:16,221
Tell Barry to come here.
335
00:16:16,221 --> 00:16:18,588
He's not gonna do that.
336
00:16:18,588 --> 00:16:22,354
Yo, DeeVee!
337
00:16:24,088 --> 00:16:26,421
Yeah?
Hands against the car.
338
00:16:26,421 --> 00:16:27,821
Wait!
What did I do?
339
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:28,921
Hands against the car.
340
00:16:28,921 --> 00:16:30,288
What did I--
What did I do?
341
00:16:30,288 --> 00:16:31,621
What are you doing!
You can't arrest him!
342
00:16:31,621 --> 00:16:33,088
DeeVee!
Back up, back up.
343
00:16:33,088 --> 00:16:34,688
What the-- what is your
badge number, asshole?!
344
00:16:34,688 --> 00:16:36,288
What the fuck did you
just call me?
345
00:16:36,288 --> 00:16:37,654
DeeVee!
Back up!
346
00:16:37,654 --> 00:16:41,588
Nikki, stop talking!
347
00:16:41,588 --> 00:16:46,321
Get the tape,
get the tape.
348
00:16:46,321 --> 00:16:50,154
Unh!
349
00:17:13,454 --> 00:17:16,388
Juggy?
Hey, it's Nikki.
350
00:17:16,388 --> 00:17:17,688
No-no-no, Dave is fine.
351
00:17:17,688 --> 00:17:21,088
But... do you know
any lawyers?
352
00:17:21,088 --> 00:17:23,321
Really? Great.
353
00:17:23,321 --> 00:17:25,488
I need a favor.
354
00:17:31,821 --> 00:17:35,288
Hi, I got a call about
my son, Daryl Van Putten, Jr.
355
00:17:35,288 --> 00:17:37,954
Van Putten?
Van Putten, yes.
356
00:17:37,954 --> 00:17:39,888
Let me take a look.
357
00:17:46,988 --> 00:17:48,388
Daryl Van Putten, Jr.
358
00:17:48,388 --> 00:17:50,521
He's being questioned.
Sit down.
359
00:18:01,088 --> 00:18:04,454
Mmm, too frou-frou for
Troy Huggins at Epic?
360
00:18:04,454 --> 00:18:07,388
Nah, that nigga ashier
than a motherfucker.
361
00:18:07,388 --> 00:18:08,821
He could use the lotion.
362
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:10,654
Now how come y'all ain't
tell me about all this?
363
00:18:10,654 --> 00:18:13,454
We didn't want you
raidin' it for your ladies.
364
00:18:13,454 --> 00:18:15,454
Uh, how about we send
a bottle of George's
365
00:18:15,454 --> 00:18:17,254
to Sampson King
at WPPS?
366
00:18:17,254 --> 00:18:18,821
Ain't sending
Sampson jack.
367
00:18:18,821 --> 00:18:21,154
Not till they start playing
my people on the air, period.
368
00:18:21,154 --> 00:18:23,554
And that go for all the rest
of them motherfuckers in radio.
369
00:18:23,554 --> 00:18:25,088
Nothing but the middle finger
370
00:18:25,088 --> 00:18:26,588
till they give
my people air time.
371
00:18:26,588 --> 00:18:28,254
Now we can give
Sophia Chang this white--
372
00:18:28,254 --> 00:18:29,788
this white wine
picnic basket though.
373
00:18:29,788 --> 00:18:31,221
All right.
374
00:18:31,221 --> 00:18:32,454
Nikki, are you
gettin' all this?
375
00:18:32,454 --> 00:18:33,988
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
376
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,821
So, just so I'm clear,
we're nixing all of radio
377
00:18:35,821 --> 00:18:37,354
from the list, and we're not
sending gifts to them either?
378
00:18:37,354 --> 00:18:39,454
Damn straight.
They're not all radio.
379
00:18:39,454 --> 00:18:41,421
I'd send something
to Bernard at The Ride
380
00:18:41,421 --> 00:18:43,088
and Joel Sakowitz
at Hot 97.
381
00:18:43,088 --> 00:18:44,188
You know, flies, honey.
382
00:18:44,188 --> 00:18:45,488
Yeah, that's fine,
that's fine.
383
00:18:45,488 --> 00:18:47,288
That's fine, as long as I
get to keep this one
384
00:18:47,288 --> 00:18:49,488
for myself and the after-party,
I'm good, yeah.
385
00:18:49,488 --> 00:18:52,654
Nikki, how did that
meeting go with Ahm?
386
00:18:52,654 --> 00:18:56,088
Great.
He's stopping by tonight.
387
00:18:56,088 --> 00:18:57,721
Good.
388
00:18:57,721 --> 00:18:59,388
You're one of
his runners, right?
389
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:00,821
One of the guys
who cleans his books?
390
00:19:00,821 --> 00:19:03,754
No, I-I told you guys,
I'm a, I'm a music producer.
391
00:19:03,754 --> 00:19:05,388
You were observed
going in and out of
392
00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:06,921
the Fort Greene
projects today.
393
00:19:06,921 --> 00:19:08,854
No equipment.
394
00:19:08,854 --> 00:19:10,554
Did you guys
make a record?
395
00:19:10,554 --> 00:19:11,921
Not enough time for that.
396
00:19:11,921 --> 00:19:14,854
But perfect to
shore up an alibi.
397
00:19:17,454 --> 00:19:18,854
If we place Mr. Harris
398
00:19:18,854 --> 00:19:21,388
anywhere other than
with you the day
399
00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:23,554
of this murder, my man,
400
00:19:23,554 --> 00:19:26,221
you are looking
at five to seven.
401
00:19:26,221 --> 00:19:28,488
Accessory
after the fact.
402
00:19:28,488 --> 00:19:29,688
They gonna eat your little
403
00:19:29,688 --> 00:19:32,354
candy college ass
up in Rikers.
404
00:19:38,454 --> 00:19:41,854
Jonah Aaron, esquire.
405
00:19:41,854 --> 00:19:44,821
I'm here to see my client,
Daryl Van Putten, Jr.
406
00:19:44,821 --> 00:19:47,121
Hold up, hold up,
your, your client?
407
00:19:47,121 --> 00:19:50,588
Oh, Mr. Van Putten, yeah,
I'm David's father, Juggy.
408
00:19:50,588 --> 00:19:53,654
David Aaron.
DeeVee's friend from GW.
409
00:19:53,654 --> 00:19:55,421
David dates DeeVee's
other friend, Nikki.
410
00:19:55,421 --> 00:19:56,621
Right, right.
411
00:19:56,621 --> 00:19:57,954
Nikki called me,
panicked.
412
00:19:57,954 --> 00:19:59,721
I said I'd get down here
as quick as I could.
413
00:19:59,721 --> 00:20:00,988
Mr. Aaron,
sign right here
414
00:20:00,988 --> 00:20:02,254
and we'll
buzz you in.
415
00:20:02,254 --> 00:20:06,154
Very good.
This way?
416
00:20:06,154 --> 00:20:08,321
Just the lawyer.
417
00:20:08,321 --> 00:20:12,354
It'll be just a minute.
418
00:20:12,354 --> 00:20:14,521
Sir, have a seat.
419
00:20:23,854 --> 00:20:26,688
Thank you, officer.
Good afternoon, detectives.
420
00:20:26,688 --> 00:20:29,188
My name is Jonah Aaron,
attorney at law.
421
00:20:29,188 --> 00:20:31,954
Mr. Van Putten
is my client.
422
00:20:31,954 --> 00:20:36,988
Any further questions
may be submitted in writing.
423
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:41,021
Along with a subpoena.
424
00:20:41,021 --> 00:20:42,954
Let's go, DeeVee.
425
00:20:53,888 --> 00:20:56,388
You're hurting me!
I don't care.
426
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:58,754
Look who's here.
427
00:20:58,754 --> 00:21:02,254
Oh!
428
00:21:02,254 --> 00:21:04,188
You good?
429
00:21:04,188 --> 00:21:05,588
Yeah.
430
00:21:05,588 --> 00:21:06,954
What the hell is
the matter with you?
431
00:21:06,954 --> 00:21:08,554
Ow! I'm sorry.
432
00:21:08,554 --> 00:21:12,288
What do we owe you?
Nothing.
433
00:21:12,288 --> 00:21:17,088
I was disbarred
12 years ago.
434
00:21:17,088 --> 00:21:20,888
You be good, boss.
435
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:23,321
Better come on, boy.
436
00:21:23,321 --> 00:21:26,154
Need to get the hell
out of here.
437
00:21:26,154 --> 00:21:28,721
Yo! What you do!
438
00:21:28,721 --> 00:21:31,954
Stay back!
Back up! Back up!
439
00:21:33,821 --> 00:21:35,088
He's crazy!
440
00:21:35,088 --> 00:21:37,354
What's going on?
My new boss.
441
00:21:37,354 --> 00:21:39,154
Apparently, this is
how he fires people.
442
00:21:39,154 --> 00:21:40,754
He makes Sampson
look like a pussy.
443
00:21:40,754 --> 00:21:42,321
You sure
you wanna work here?
444
00:21:42,321 --> 00:21:43,688
I'm running out
of radio stations.
445
00:21:43,688 --> 00:21:46,154
Where else am I gonna go?
What's up?
446
00:21:46,154 --> 00:21:48,888
Oh, I need that tape from
Chuck Chillout, DeeVee's tape.
447
00:21:48,888 --> 00:21:50,821
Uh, he's going to
meet his cousin.
448
00:21:50,821 --> 00:21:52,488
Is something wrong?
449
00:21:52,488 --> 00:21:55,788
Oh, I gotta--
I gotta go.
450
00:21:55,788 --> 00:21:58,288
Um, have Chuck Chillout bring
it to the listening party, okay?
451
00:22:03,254 --> 00:22:06,721
Check, check-check, one-two,
one-two, that's good?
452
00:22:06,721 --> 00:22:08,521
You hear that?
You can hear me?
453
00:22:08,521 --> 00:22:10,788
Check-check,
one-two, one-two--
454
00:22:10,788 --> 00:22:12,754
Hey, stay away from
those wall outlets, man.
455
00:22:12,754 --> 00:22:15,354
We maxed out at 30 amps.
456
00:22:45,221 --> 00:22:47,954
Nikki?
457
00:22:49,888 --> 00:22:52,621
Sounds different
on this side, doesn't it?
458
00:23:06,488 --> 00:23:08,288
Yo, I just got
off the phone.
459
00:23:08,288 --> 00:23:11,088
Bug got locked up and saw that
kid DeeVee at the station.
460
00:23:11,088 --> 00:23:13,654
Say he was some
lawyers and shit.
461
00:23:13,654 --> 00:23:15,254
Walked out of there
real clean.
462
00:23:15,254 --> 00:23:18,354
He might be snitchin'.
463
00:23:18,354 --> 00:23:20,088
Kid's gotta go.
464
00:23:29,388 --> 00:23:31,321
Dad?
465
00:23:31,321 --> 00:23:32,921
Yo, Ahm is dope, though.
466
00:23:32,921 --> 00:23:35,288
Like, he has a great voice,
great delivery.
467
00:23:35,288 --> 00:23:37,488
He's a drug dealin'
murderer, Junior.
468
00:23:37,488 --> 00:23:38,888
Let me tell you something.
469
00:23:38,888 --> 00:23:41,088
When a thug gets shot,
470
00:23:41,088 --> 00:23:44,521
or worse, when a little kid
gets rolled in on a gurney
471
00:23:44,521 --> 00:23:46,288
'cause of a dealer's bullet,
472
00:23:46,288 --> 00:23:50,154
I'm the one has
to mop up the blood, me.
473
00:23:50,154 --> 00:23:53,621
And here you are, talkin'
about a-- a great voice?
474
00:23:53,621 --> 00:23:54,988
A great delivery.
475
00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:56,321
Try tellin' that shit
476
00:23:56,321 --> 00:23:58,621
to those crying mothers
at the hospital.
477
00:23:58,621 --> 00:24:00,188
"Oh, I'm sorry,
he shot your son
478
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:01,954
but he has
a great fuckin' voice."
479
00:24:01,954 --> 00:24:02,988
I didn't know, Dad.
480
00:24:02,988 --> 00:24:04,621
Well, you shoulda.
481
00:24:04,621 --> 00:24:06,288
You're smart.
482
00:24:06,288 --> 00:24:09,288
Smarter than me,
and I'm proud of that.
483
00:24:09,288 --> 00:24:11,754
You think I beat the sun up
every morning to--
484
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:13,788
to carry a mop bucket.
485
00:24:13,788 --> 00:24:15,921
And then you just
drop out of school.
486
00:24:15,921 --> 00:24:20,254
Yeah, for what?
For music?
487
00:24:20,254 --> 00:24:23,388
For you to do a bid
for aiding and abetting,
488
00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:24,421
or even worse, Junior--
489
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:26,488
Yo, can you lay off?
490
00:24:26,488 --> 00:24:28,654
I'm calling your
Aunt Adona in Charleston.
491
00:24:28,654 --> 00:24:29,821
I'm not going
to South Carolina.
492
00:24:29,821 --> 00:24:31,854
Yes, you are.
493
00:24:31,854 --> 00:24:33,488
And you gonna get away
from this Ahm nigga.
494
00:24:33,488 --> 00:24:37,088
You're gonna do that,
and you're gonna live.
495
00:24:39,854 --> 00:24:41,154
Where the fuck
are you going?
496
00:24:41,154 --> 00:24:42,888
I gotta go-- going
to get some fresh air.
497
00:24:42,888 --> 00:24:44,554
See, that's your problem.
498
00:24:44,554 --> 00:24:45,921
You need to sit
your narrow ass down
499
00:24:45,921 --> 00:24:47,721
and listen for a change.
500
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:49,688
I gotta go think, Dad.
501
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:51,421
I'll be back.
502
00:24:51,421 --> 00:24:54,521
Fine.
You go think.
503
00:24:59,921 --> 00:25:02,088
Hey, Damita,
so glad you could make it.
504
00:25:02,088 --> 00:25:06,188
Thanks for the invite.
505
00:25:06,188 --> 00:25:08,621
So, how old is
your daughter now?
506
00:25:08,621 --> 00:25:11,154
1-1/2 years.
Wow.
507
00:25:11,154 --> 00:25:12,521
I can't believe
how quick--
508
00:25:12,521 --> 00:25:13,888
Two years, Nikki.
509
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:16,188
I know, I know.
510
00:25:16,188 --> 00:25:20,321
It's just, uh...
Things got crazy.
511
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,254
Thanks for getting
my access back.
512
00:25:24,254 --> 00:25:27,154
Let me know if you're
ever really ready to talk.
513
00:25:27,154 --> 00:25:29,088
Otherwise...
514
00:25:33,088 --> 00:25:34,854
Yo, Nikki, tell me
tonight gonna be hot.
515
00:25:34,854 --> 00:25:36,388
We're good.
516
00:25:36,388 --> 00:25:38,321
Sound check done,
drinks are flowing.
517
00:25:38,321 --> 00:25:39,821
Everybody on the
guest list is cool.
518
00:25:39,821 --> 00:25:41,254
Ahm?
Not yet, but he'll be here.
519
00:25:41,254 --> 00:25:42,454
Yeah, what's up, Barry?
520
00:25:42,454 --> 00:25:43,621
Yo, what up, man?
521
00:25:43,621 --> 00:25:44,754
Yeah, it's gonna be
off the hook tonight.
522
00:25:44,754 --> 00:25:46,788
Good to see you.
Yeah, so...
523
00:25:46,788 --> 00:25:48,188
Got it, got it.
524
00:25:48,188 --> 00:25:50,321
Okay, all right.
Mm-hmm.
525
00:26:18,854 --> 00:26:21,954
Heh.
I don't mean to barge in.
526
00:26:21,954 --> 00:26:23,921
Yeah, why?
It's your apartment.
527
00:26:23,921 --> 00:26:27,488
Just, you know,
I wanted to... you know.
528
00:26:27,488 --> 00:26:30,221
Say bye.
529
00:26:30,221 --> 00:26:32,921
Bye? Just moving to
Williamsburg.
530
00:26:32,921 --> 00:26:35,188
Jesus, why would
anyone wanna move there?
531
00:26:35,188 --> 00:26:37,788
It's not like it's Jersey.
532
00:26:37,788 --> 00:26:41,754
Barely.
533
00:26:41,754 --> 00:26:42,954
Do you need any help?
534
00:26:42,954 --> 00:26:45,521
No, I'm good.
535
00:26:46,754 --> 00:26:49,088
Hey-hey!
536
00:26:49,088 --> 00:26:52,454
There's still
some Quik left.
537
00:26:52,454 --> 00:26:54,888
Now I remember
when you were little,
538
00:26:54,888 --> 00:26:57,254
I don't know who used
to drink more of this.
539
00:26:57,254 --> 00:26:59,221
You or me.
540
00:26:59,221 --> 00:27:01,821
You might wanna check
the expiration date on that.
541
00:27:01,821 --> 00:27:05,888
Expiration-- expiration dates
are for folk singers, David.
542
00:27:05,888 --> 00:27:09,821
Expiration date, my ass.
543
00:27:09,821 --> 00:27:11,088
All right.
544
00:27:11,088 --> 00:27:13,188
You know, you and me...
545
00:27:13,188 --> 00:27:16,621
We're, uh, we're
sort of alike, you know?
546
00:27:16,621 --> 00:27:17,754
Yes?
547
00:27:17,754 --> 00:27:19,888
Yeah, how?
548
00:27:23,088 --> 00:27:27,388
We both like Quik.
549
00:27:27,388 --> 00:27:29,554
Mom says
I'm more like her.
550
00:27:29,554 --> 00:27:32,088
Uh, could be.
551
00:27:32,088 --> 00:27:34,354
You're both
awfully principled.
552
00:27:43,421 --> 00:27:45,354
Well...
553
00:27:49,088 --> 00:27:51,154
See you around.
554
00:28:17,854 --> 00:28:19,221
Don't move.
555
00:28:19,221 --> 00:28:20,421
Keep doing what
you were doing.
556
00:28:20,421 --> 00:28:22,088
Don't move or keep
doing what I'm doing?
557
00:28:22,088 --> 00:28:23,954
Both, why can't you?
558
00:28:26,821 --> 00:28:29,454
Okay, about earlier?
I'm sorry.
559
00:28:29,454 --> 00:28:31,421
Between the guest list and
trying to get this artist,
560
00:28:31,421 --> 00:28:33,154
I didn't think.
561
00:28:33,154 --> 00:28:34,854
Can't we just chalk it up
as first day fuck up
562
00:28:34,854 --> 00:28:37,588
for the new girl?
563
00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:40,554
I will do whatever you need
when you have to reshoot.
564
00:28:40,554 --> 00:28:41,988
Okay.
565
00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,188
You good?
Yeah.
566
00:28:44,188 --> 00:28:46,854
Damn, you clean up fast.
567
00:28:46,854 --> 00:28:48,321
You waste time...
568
00:28:48,321 --> 00:28:50,121
You waste money!
569
00:28:51,721 --> 00:28:54,788
Don't worry about it.
We all had a first day.
570
00:28:54,788 --> 00:28:56,221
Thanks.
571
00:28:56,221 --> 00:28:57,754
Hey, so I gotta
ask, but...
572
00:28:57,754 --> 00:28:59,321
Oh, the apron?
Yeah.
573
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:01,188
I work at my
parents' market.
574
00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:02,488
I thought you were--
575
00:29:02,488 --> 00:29:04,088
Technically, I'm
Fouray's art director.
576
00:29:04,088 --> 00:29:07,354
I sell artists, do visual
concepts, graphics, all of it.
577
00:29:07,354 --> 00:29:09,554
But he doesn't pay me.
578
00:29:09,554 --> 00:29:11,121
He lets me use
his space for free.
579
00:29:11,121 --> 00:29:12,754
Hence the dark room.
580
00:29:12,754 --> 00:29:15,321
Yeah, I only get money
for my freelance photography.
581
00:29:15,321 --> 00:29:18,088
But to my parents,
I am just a stock boy.
582
00:29:18,088 --> 00:29:21,254
Girl, you are one
fly fuckin' stock boy.
583
00:29:21,254 --> 00:29:23,221
Thanks, you're not
so bad yourself.
584
00:29:25,321 --> 00:29:27,554
Have you seen
Chuck Chillout?
585
00:29:27,554 --> 00:29:30,188
Not in the 90 seconds
I've been here.
586
00:29:30,188 --> 00:29:31,754
Okay, thanks.
587
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:50,454
You got the tape?
588
00:29:50,454 --> 00:29:53,954
Shit.
I must've left it inside.
589
00:29:53,954 --> 00:29:55,288
Yeah, Barry's got a table.
590
00:29:55,288 --> 00:29:56,354
Why don't you just
come in and meet him?
591
00:29:56,354 --> 00:29:59,354
Nah.
Go get the tape.
592
00:30:01,721 --> 00:30:03,654
Now.
593
00:30:10,121 --> 00:30:13,388
Hey, you seen
Chuck Chillout?
594
00:30:13,388 --> 00:30:16,021
This is the problem,
The Mission ain't the scene.
595
00:30:16,021 --> 00:30:17,921
Come on,
let's move with this.
596
00:30:17,921 --> 00:30:19,354
I appreciate
your passion, Barry,
597
00:30:19,354 --> 00:30:22,154
but we have a better chance
on MTV with The Mission.
598
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:23,954
Just trust me on this, okay?
Enjoy the party.
599
00:30:23,954 --> 00:30:26,954
Yeah.
600
00:30:26,954 --> 00:30:28,088
I got Ahm
waiting outside.
601
00:30:28,088 --> 00:30:29,521
Great, tell him
to come inside.
602
00:30:29,521 --> 00:30:30,921
Any chance you
could come meet him?
603
00:30:30,921 --> 00:30:32,121
He seems kind of shy.
604
00:30:32,121 --> 00:30:33,521
Well, he better
get over it.
605
00:30:33,521 --> 00:30:36,654
Tell him either come
inside or to go home.
606
00:30:36,654 --> 00:30:38,688
His name ain't Prince.
607
00:30:38,688 --> 00:30:40,421
All right, now,
did you order my flowers?
608
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:41,654
Arriving as we speak.
609
00:30:41,654 --> 00:30:44,288
Not bad, Nikki Jones.
But go get your boy.
610
00:30:44,288 --> 00:30:46,221
Why do I have to explain
to motherfuckers
611
00:30:46,221 --> 00:30:47,721
that the sky is blue?
612
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:49,154
Thought you were
gonna tell him no.
613
00:30:49,154 --> 00:30:51,054
Tell 'em we making video.
614
00:30:51,054 --> 00:30:52,588
I thought the label
would do that...
615
00:31:14,854 --> 00:31:18,321
What happened?!
616
00:31:18,321 --> 00:31:21,688
Turn the lights on!
Turn the lights on!
617
00:31:26,654 --> 00:31:29,288
Hey, hey, hey!
618
00:31:29,288 --> 00:31:31,421
It's not what
it looks like, I--
619
00:31:33,388 --> 00:31:35,388
Excuse me, excuse me.
Hey, watch it!
620
00:31:35,388 --> 00:31:37,921
Hey, be cool, everybody,
don't worry about it.
621
00:31:37,921 --> 00:31:40,088
The lights will
be back on in a second.
622
00:31:40,088 --> 00:31:41,621
Drink your drinks
and you'll act
623
00:31:41,621 --> 00:31:43,088
like you at a high school party
or something like that...
624
00:31:43,088 --> 00:31:44,454
Hey, I need to
take Barry outside.
625
00:31:44,454 --> 00:31:45,954
I need you
to do me a favor.
626
00:31:45,954 --> 00:31:48,088
In five minutes,
don't let anybody leave.
627
00:31:48,088 --> 00:31:49,088
How am I gonna do that?
628
00:31:49,088 --> 00:31:50,754
You'll figure it out.
629
00:31:50,754 --> 00:31:52,088
We gonna keep
the lights out!
630
00:31:52,088 --> 00:31:53,321
Some of y'all look better
in the dark
631
00:31:53,321 --> 00:31:54,588
if you know what
I'm talking about.
632
00:31:54,588 --> 00:31:55,688
Hey, excuse me, Barry,
633
00:31:55,688 --> 00:31:56,888
I was thinking
it might be a good idea
634
00:31:56,888 --> 00:31:58,221
to go out now and meet Ahm
635
00:31:58,221 --> 00:31:59,521
'cause we can't really
do the event in the dark.
636
00:31:59,521 --> 00:32:01,654
Nah, 'cause I'm MC-ing
right now...
637
00:32:01,654 --> 00:32:02,888
But we got you.
638
00:32:02,888 --> 00:32:04,121
Josie said she would
make sure she lets us know
639
00:32:04,121 --> 00:32:05,454
when the lights
come back on.
640
00:32:05,454 --> 00:32:07,354
Plus, we got plenty
of people to work the room.
641
00:32:07,354 --> 00:32:09,454
But, the hottest,
undiscovered MC in New York
642
00:32:09,454 --> 00:32:11,288
might drive away
if you don't go outside.
643
00:32:11,288 --> 00:32:12,388
Barry, let me talk to you--
644
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:14,454
Stop! Okay, five minutes.
645
00:32:14,454 --> 00:32:16,421
He's in the black
Pathfinder right out front.
646
00:32:16,421 --> 00:32:18,421
Out front?
Uh-huh.
647
00:32:18,421 --> 00:32:20,288
Yo, Chuck, I've been
looking for you all day.
648
00:32:20,288 --> 00:32:21,788
You got DeeVee's tape?
649
00:32:21,788 --> 00:32:23,188
Sorry, sis, it's in my ride,
650
00:32:23,188 --> 00:32:25,988
but my dumb-ass cousin
got it stolen in Jersey.
651
00:32:25,988 --> 00:32:28,121
What?!
Sorry, kiddo.
652
00:32:48,088 --> 00:32:50,088
Yo, crazy how the lights
went off in there, huh?
653
00:32:50,088 --> 00:32:51,988
Bananas.
654
00:32:51,988 --> 00:32:53,554
So, you really think
your man got it?
655
00:32:53,554 --> 00:32:55,354
Yo, I'm telling you, we're
looking at the next Rakim.
656
00:32:55,354 --> 00:32:57,554
Oh, yeah, well,
where's Eric B?
657
00:32:57,554 --> 00:32:59,588
Uh, family stuff,
but he'll be by later.
658
00:32:59,588 --> 00:33:01,988
Okay, a'ight, Nikki Jones,
let me find out--
659
00:33:01,988 --> 00:33:03,654
Look.
660
00:33:03,654 --> 00:33:05,588
That's him?
661
00:33:10,788 --> 00:33:14,288
Yo!
Yo, stop, yo!
662
00:33:14,288 --> 00:33:18,588
Hey, hey!
663
00:33:18,588 --> 00:33:22,254
Hey, I got your tape, here.
664
00:33:22,254 --> 00:33:24,821
Can you give
Barry five minutes?
665
00:33:24,821 --> 00:33:26,088
Barry Fouray,
this is Ahm.
666
00:33:26,088 --> 00:33:28,188
Ahm, this is
Barry Fouray.
667
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:45,488
Yeah, I like
your office.
668
00:33:45,488 --> 00:33:48,521
Yeah, I'm glad you
came down, you know.
669
00:33:48,521 --> 00:33:51,621
The joint you and your boy
did, that shit is dope.
670
00:33:51,621 --> 00:33:52,854
Appreciate it.
671
00:33:52,854 --> 00:33:54,854
Yeah, y'all working
on a whole album?
672
00:33:54,854 --> 00:33:56,854
Something like that.
673
00:33:56,854 --> 00:33:59,888
Well, if it's anything
like this first joint,
674
00:33:59,888 --> 00:34:02,488
then the whole sky's gonna
open up to you, man.
675
00:34:02,488 --> 00:34:04,421
You're gonna find yourself
needing a strong team
676
00:34:04,421 --> 00:34:07,154
to help you handle
your business correctly.
677
00:34:07,154 --> 00:34:09,454
I can handle
my own business.
678
00:34:09,454 --> 00:34:12,154
No doubt,
you can do that, but...
679
00:34:12,154 --> 00:34:13,821
You know, when you
dealing with a label
680
00:34:13,821 --> 00:34:15,654
and they steppin' to you,
showing you some bullshit
681
00:34:15,654 --> 00:34:17,654
advance gonna
look like a lot of money.
682
00:34:17,654 --> 00:34:19,388
And then they gonna
try to put you
683
00:34:19,388 --> 00:34:21,288
in a short position
for your artist share.
684
00:34:21,288 --> 00:34:24,488
The what?
Artist share.
685
00:34:24,488 --> 00:34:26,521
You know what that is?
686
00:34:26,521 --> 00:34:28,488
It's like a,
it's like a...
687
00:34:28,488 --> 00:34:31,088
Are you familiar
with points on a package?
688
00:34:31,088 --> 00:34:32,988
I heard somebody talk
about it once.
689
00:34:32,988 --> 00:34:35,088
Well, it's like that
except for this package
690
00:34:35,088 --> 00:34:36,554
don't come with the drama.
691
00:34:36,554 --> 00:34:37,888
You know what I'm saying?
692
00:34:37,888 --> 00:34:39,221
And, like, the labels
wanna walk you out
693
00:34:39,221 --> 00:34:41,321
on eight points,
ten points.
694
00:34:41,321 --> 00:34:42,988
Especially if you new?
Forget about it.
695
00:34:42,988 --> 00:34:46,121
But we, we deal with it,
like, hard in that department.
696
00:34:46,121 --> 00:34:48,288
We want 12 points.
697
00:34:48,288 --> 00:34:49,754
We want 14 points.
698
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,354
You know what I'm saying?
We want the advance.
699
00:34:51,354 --> 00:34:54,588
But I'm willing to sacrifice
the advance if it means
700
00:34:54,588 --> 00:34:56,421
that my artist is in
the better long-term position.
701
00:34:56,421 --> 00:34:58,088
You know what I'm saying?
702
00:34:58,088 --> 00:35:00,888
Ain't nobody expecting this
shit to last forever, man.
703
00:35:00,888 --> 00:35:02,954
Except for me.
704
00:35:02,954 --> 00:35:06,221
So you a middle man.
705
00:35:06,221 --> 00:35:08,588
Not the label.
706
00:35:08,588 --> 00:35:13,121
No, I negotiate with the label
on behalf of the artist.
707
00:35:13,121 --> 00:35:14,688
Thanks for your time, man.
708
00:35:28,588 --> 00:35:30,488
No, your man ain't ready.
709
00:35:30,488 --> 00:35:32,354
He's ready,
you heard...
710
00:35:32,354 --> 00:35:35,721
Your man ain't ready!
711
00:35:35,721 --> 00:35:39,654
Outside the car, I don't
know what to tell you.
712
00:36:19,121 --> 00:36:20,921
Fuck it.
I'm starting my own label.
713
00:37:19,321 --> 00:37:21,088
Hey.
714
00:37:21,088 --> 00:37:24,388
You will not believe what
went down at Rita's tonight.
715
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:31,088
What's up?
716
00:37:31,088 --> 00:37:33,121
I talked to DeeVee.
717
00:37:33,121 --> 00:37:35,788
Juggy?
718
00:37:35,788 --> 00:37:38,988
You call fucking Juggy to get
our friend out of jail.
719
00:37:38,988 --> 00:37:41,621
What was I supposed to do?
He needed help.
720
00:37:41,621 --> 00:37:44,254
Call me!
Call his dad!
721
00:37:44,254 --> 00:37:45,821
Don't call
fuckin' Juggy.
722
00:37:45,821 --> 00:37:48,221
DeeVee's dad wasn't home,
Juggy was.
723
00:37:48,221 --> 00:37:50,088
What about me, Nikki?
724
00:37:50,088 --> 00:37:52,521
Come on, David.
Our friend was in jail.
725
00:37:52,521 --> 00:37:54,121
I'm supposed to just
let him sit in a cell
726
00:37:54,121 --> 00:37:56,254
because you got
daddy issues?
727
00:37:56,254 --> 00:37:57,654
That is fucked up.
728
00:37:57,654 --> 00:37:59,088
What's fucked up is me
feeling like I'm on trial
729
00:37:59,088 --> 00:38:03,454
when I come home
every single fuckin' night.
730
00:38:15,454 --> 00:38:17,821
Want a ride,
Prep School?
731
00:38:17,821 --> 00:38:20,454
Uh, nah, I'm good,
I'ma just--
732
00:38:20,454 --> 00:38:24,588
I ain't askin'.
733
00:38:50,621 --> 00:38:52,521
This season on "The Breaks"...
734
00:38:52,521 --> 00:38:54,088
It's game time, baby.
735
00:38:54,088 --> 00:38:55,821
Hip-hop is gonna take
over the music business.
736
00:38:55,821 --> 00:38:58,188
Fouray Records
is gonna be a force.
737
00:38:58,188 --> 00:39:02,121
I heard you might be adding
hip-hop to your repertoire.
738
00:39:02,121 --> 00:39:04,954
My chairman says there's
gold in them there hills.
739
00:39:04,954 --> 00:39:07,188
Listen up!
I got a new label!
740
00:39:07,188 --> 00:39:08,588
I'm looking for a star.
741
00:39:08,588 --> 00:39:11,354
I got a question for Barry.
You a leech, boy!
742
00:39:11,354 --> 00:39:13,588
You wouldn't be
nothing without me!
743
00:39:18,854 --> 00:39:20,688
We don't change our
artists' music and image
744
00:39:20,688 --> 00:39:22,321
so they can fit
the mainstream.
745
00:39:22,321 --> 00:39:24,088
We make the mainstream
flow to us.
746
00:39:24,088 --> 00:39:26,221
If you wanna make a living
in the music industry?
747
00:39:26,221 --> 00:39:28,188
You're gonna have to get
your hands a little dirty.
748
00:39:28,188 --> 00:39:30,721
This bitch is more man than
your bitch-ass will ever be
749
00:39:30,721 --> 00:39:32,521
Yeah!
750
00:39:32,521 --> 00:39:34,654
I heard your demo,
and I'd like to talk to you
751
00:39:34,654 --> 00:39:36,088
about joining Fouray.
752
00:39:36,088 --> 00:39:38,354
What exactly is Fouray
gonna do for my baby?
753
00:39:38,354 --> 00:39:39,821
He's gonna
make her a star.
754
00:39:48,188 --> 00:39:49,521
Got word you may
know something
755
00:39:49,521 --> 00:39:51,454
about a homicide
in Crown Heights?
756
00:39:51,454 --> 00:39:53,554
No.
What did you tell 'em?
757
00:39:53,554 --> 00:39:56,454
Nothing.
You sure?
758
00:39:56,454 --> 00:39:58,554
You lose this case, it's over,
you lose everything.
759
00:39:58,554 --> 00:39:59,688
You are a hustler.
760
00:39:59,688 --> 00:40:01,421
You say that like
it's a bad thing.
761
00:40:01,421 --> 00:40:04,054
You reap what you sow.
762
00:40:04,054 --> 00:40:07,688
In this business, the only
color that matters is green.
763
00:40:07,688 --> 00:40:09,521
Do I gotta keep
looking over my shoulder?
764
00:40:09,521 --> 00:40:11,888
It's New York City, man.
765
00:40:11,888 --> 00:40:13,921
You always gotta
look over your shoulder.
766
00:40:13,921 --> 00:40:15,454
There's a lot of
troubled souls out there.
767
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:17,554
Is yourself included?
Number one.
768
00:40:17,554 --> 00:40:20,388
If you gon' make music,
I want you to make history.
769
00:40:20,388 --> 00:40:22,421
That's the program!
770
00:40:22,421 --> 00:40:24,988
You either with it
or you not!
771
00:40:27,188 --> 00:40:29,521
Do you know how many people
spend their entire lives
772
00:40:29,521 --> 00:40:31,354
wishing for a chance
at greatness?
